We are still in Operation Demoralize. It’s working just like it does every summer that we’ve tracked it. Shake out of it and get yourself together. There are legitimate concerns that people need to address, but this hyperbole and this hair-on-fire reaction is ridiculous. So carry on.
[The] August 2, 2024, video Don’t Fall For ‘Operation Demoralize’ has received a big reaction.
So I decided to do a follow up, with the benefit of how things have gone the past 10 days.
[Link to video omitted]
A couple of weeks ago, I spoke to you about Operation Demoralize.
It’s something we’ve been tracking at Legal Insurrection since 2011 and what it is, it is a concerted effort every presidential election to suppress Republican votes by creating a narrative that it’s over. There’s nothing you can do. The momentum is with the Democrat. It’s already been written, the result.
And we know that’s not true. People are falling for it again. Now I see it all over the internet. I see it in my inbox, I see it in comments, I see it everywhere.
I just want to give you a little bit of historical perspective. On this date. August 14th, according to the Real Clear Politics national polling average, and that’s important, it’s the national average, Kamala Harris is up 1.1%. Oh my God, the sky is falling. It’s over.
By comparison on this date in 2020, Joe Biden was up by 7.7% in the same Real Clear Politics average, and on this date in 2016, Hillary was up 6.8%.
That’s the historical record. That doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be concerned. That doesn’t mean people can’t do better. That doesn’t mean really anything other than you are being played.
Polling at this time in the year is junk Polling at this time in the year predicts nothing, and you should ignore it. Now you can’t ignore it because it’s all over the place. People are constantly citing the latest poll. What I’m telling you is this is Operation Demoralize.
This is going to be a close election just like it was in 2016 and just like it was in 2020. It’s going to be 30 or 50,000 votes in this state and 20,000 votes in that state. And we’re really fighting over a handful of states for who’s going to be president, and turnout is going to be critical. It doesn’t matter if Democrats win California by 5 million votes, that’s irrelevant. What matters is Pennsylvania and Michigan, and Georgia and Arizona, and two or three other states.
And to the extent the media is able to convince you that it is all over and there’s nothing you can do, that is not in your interest as a voter.
So what I’m saying to you is: We are still in Operation Demoralize. It’s working just like it does every summer that we’ve tracked it. Shake out of it and get yourself together. There are legitimate concerns that people need to address, but this hyperbole and this hair-on-fire reaction is ridiculous. So carry on.
Got my very first postcard asking to be a poll worker. Thinkin’ about it. Does this mean I’m getting old-er?
If you’ve got the time, it likely would be an educational experience.
Bless you for posting this it is RIGHT ON
Thanks for posting. The Right needs to hear this far and wide. Keep repeating until the end.
It happens Every. Dang. Election. Corporate media manipulation to produce, not reflect, opinions and reality.
Nary a word is ever spoken or written by the mainstream media of the difficult path to victory for Democrats. It’s their presumed, God-given right to win all elections, dontchya know!?
Congrats. Imagine the stress on Scarborough everyday, what an he say to Mika et al to get her to drop trou and let him in? No wonder the fool is daft!
Yeah, a 1 point lead is not impressive at all for Harris given the Dems advantage in CA and NY.
